Tiger teams follow the business's most urgent need, not a fixed backlog - Own sprint discipline end to end: a groomed, ready backlog, work sized and scoped before it's committed, a consistent cadence, and throughput the team and its stakeholders can plan against - Partner with engineering leadership and adjacent teams to align roadmaps, distribute workstreams effectively, enable knowledge transfer, and land cross-team initiatives - Run delivery across time zones: design workstreams, handoffs, and written communication so the team stays effective against partner teams and stakeholders in Melbourne and New York, decisions and context are captured in writing rather than lost in a call, and neither side sits blocked waiting - Agree scope, definition of done, and handoff terms with the team that owns the domain before work starts, coordinating closely with the domain PM - Evolve team processes and reporting to make delivery reliable and predictable as the team scales - Build a culture of accountability and continuous improvement — clear expectations, visible progress, and steady gains in delivery outcomes **People** - Own performance, development, and feedback for the engineers on your team — including reviews, growth plans, and career conversations - Coach through the work – pairing, design review, and code review are your primary teaching tools - Provide regular, actionable feedback tied to OKRs and individual growth goals - Calibrate with engineering leadership and counterparts in other teams to ensure consistent standards, expectations, and growth opportunities - Build and sustain a healthy team dynamic — clear expectations, psychological safety, and strong engagement inside and outside the team **Technology** - Steward your domain's architecture and technical direction, ensuring solutions meet business objectives and align with our Engineering Principles, Tech Radar, and architecture standards - Establishes patterns and guidelines for an AI-first team: Agentic coding tools, AI-assisted review, and AI in the product itself. - Champion responsible operational ownership of your team's systems — fit-for-purpose support, observability, and reliability for the demands each system faces - Continuously assess team capabilities against the technical demands of the roadmap, and close gaps through hiring, training, or rotation ## Requirements - 7+ years of experience managing engineering teams, ideally in consumer or marketplace settings - Deep experience building web applications with Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and PostgreSQL. - 5 years working with HTML5, CSS3, and modern JavaScript (ES6+). - Track record of leading engineering teams to deliver complex software, including modern agile practices, dependency management, and cross-team coordination - Strong understanding of modern software development practices and architectural patterns across one or more of cloud, web, native mobile, or data - Demonstrable, current experience using and setting up the team for agentic AI tooling in production engineering work, including adoption, review standards, and quality guardrails - Experience operating inside a globally distributed engineering organisation, with the written communication and async judgment to keep work moving with leadership and partner teams in other time zones - Demonstrated ownership of capacity planning and forecasting, not just sprint execution **Key Attributes for success ** - Leads by doing – sets the technical standard through their own work, and is trusted by engineers because of it - Proven people leadership: mentoring, feedback, goal-setting, performance management, and supporting career growth - Able to translate technical complexity for non-technical stakeholders and align decision-makers around clear outcomes, including timelines, scope, and risks - Comfortable balancing system health against delivery pressure, and is able to communicate directly with stakeholders about scope, timelines, and risk before it becomes a problem - Comfortable operating with high ambiguity and shifting scope.
